EEROPE1N W1R CLOUDS.

The collapse Of the war panic in Europe Is
followed by explanations which convert it into
a stock iobbng device. The financial centres
Of the Continent have been shaken by I'M
founded rumors Of increased ornaments and
the massing OF armies. II is now known that
all the reports from the Russian Austrian from
tier were grossly exaggerated. The military
forces have not been materially increased on
either side, and apprehension Of the outbreak
of war was groundloss. If serious efforts are
now making TO render the Austrian frontier
more dcfensible, this policy has been kept in
view since the Delegations voted increased
credits early in the year. There is no reason
to believe that Russia and Austria are drifting
RAPIDLY into an inevitable war. The inherent
probabilities favor a diplomatic settlement of
of Southeastern Europe.
Premier Crispis recent declaration that ltal-
ian interests in the Mediterranean would be
impcrillcd by Russian occupation OF Constan-
tinope was the most significant uttcrance Of the
year in European diplomacy. He had returned
from a conference with Prince bismarck and
lost no time in letting his supporters IN Par
lament know that he had virtually entered
into an alliance with Germany and Austria.
The King of Italy has taken the place of the
Car i'm what was once the ThrCc-Empcrors'
League. Three powerful States, with Engi'nd
in sympathy with them can certainly be de-
pended upon TO keep Russia under restraint.
The Czaf<will not make war upon Austria under
existing circumstances, unless he can find an
ally in Europe, and he can have no hope at

all Of which she was deeply interested, receive
S25 600 each, which is to be in every case
permanent fund. Other requests for industrial

jccts show how earnest her sympathy with
them was. And the plcasantcst reflection is
that these gifts. generous as they are, repre-

The London press considers il necessary to
rcbuke the Tory rOwdics who snOw-ballcd Mr..
Gladstone at Dover. One Of them states that
his position and age ought TO have protected
him against so coarse an insult. This is not
the first time the venerable statesman has
suffered from mob violence. During the Adj
nnistration OF his great rival, Lord Beacons-
field, he was fairly mobbcd in the streets OF
London and the windOw-pancs Of his residence
were smashed by partisan ruans. MIR. Glad
stones advancing years and established posi-
ton have not protected him against ribald
abuse and malcvolcnt criticism from the Tory
and Unionist press. Many Of the press as
saults upon him have been as coarse and as
insulting as the Tory demonstration at Dover.
The st0ck-cxchangcs of Europe have been
momcntarly disturbed by false reports of the
death Of the Emperor William. Such fuctua-
tons in values are not based on sober thought,
but on temporary feeling of excitement Of
which spectators are quick to take advantage.

Sugar Among the AncjentS.

1T seems almost impossible to i'm
agine life without sugar, so absolutely
essential is its use to the comfort Of
living. There is no mention of
sugar among the ancient Greeks
and Romans, although sugar or
sweet" cane was made known by
the conquests of Alexander the Great,
whose Admiral, Nearchus, found it in
the East Indies. 1t is mentioned rs
remedial agent few years before the
birth of Christ-"a honey called sac
charon, having the appearance OF salt. !"
1t is known, also, that Galen often pre-
scribed it as medicine. The juice of
the sugar cane was used by some of
the Oriental nations as an Intoxicating
drink. The Arabians used sugar in
large quantities, and it is related that
at the marriage of Caliph Maskadi Ben
rittale 80, 900 pounds of the sugar were
required to prepare the comtitures and
ornamental sweets for the wedding
banquet at Bagdad.
Sugar was introduced into Europe
by the crusaders. In ll66 the King of
Sicily gave the monks of st. Benedict's
cloistes mill for expressing the Juice
fron the cane and granted them the
right of manufacture and sent them
skilled workmen. In Germany, even
as late as the seventeenth century sugar
was so costly that only the wealthiest
families could afford to use it.
In 1745 Marggraf, celebrated chem
ist, read paper before the Berlin
Academy of Sciences concerning the
juices of certain native plants, espe-
cially the beet, in which was sub
stance Identical with cane sugar. He
showed by samples of his own prepare
ton that the manufacture of sugar from
the beet was not only possible but
however, laughed the project to scorn,
saying that sugar was never produced
from beets, and it came to naught.
When Marggraf died, in l7S3, it seem
I'll as if his discovery would die with
him.
Achard, his pupil, at the close of the
century, being director of the acad-
envy. found the treatise of his master
and determined to establish manu-
factory in Silesia for the production of
bcet-root sugar. In spite of the euer-
Nv OF the chemist and the assistance of
the crown, the project was not success y
ful, although the sugar was perfectly
satisfactory. 1t was not until ls4l,
nearly one hundred years after Marg-
gratis first essay, that the production
of beet sugar was an accomplished fact
At the present time beet sugar is the
sugar of Europe. 1t is scarcely distin-
guishah'e from the cane sugar. 1t is
perhaps less brilliantly crystalline, and
is by many tnonght to he sweeter than
its Indian rival. Mar York T0mDter-

wherein the defendant protests. that
he is innocent of the dishonorable is
charged by the plaintiff, and yet con-
fesses to having paid many thousands
of dollars to Wilson as hush money,
but refuses to divulge the reasons
therefor. There is woman in the
case, according to Wilson, but she is
a most uncertain quantity. Moen de-
MES this, but the fact remains that he
thought Wilson's silence was worth the
price paid, upward of $l50,000. AL
though the Worcester manufacturer
practically wins the suit, it will not
cause the majority of people to think
that he was made the innocent victim
of a Matchmaking scheme.

Did you ever snil in q dream-canoe
To the honey-cOmbed reefs Of kandikew,
The island built by aquatical bees
W no carry their sweets down under the seas?
The sands Of the beach that shimm n and shine
Are powdered sugar white and fine;
While pillows OF syrup fan and rise
Ger candy pebbles Of every size.
There's perfume borne on every breeze
From the fruit preserves ON the orchard trees;
There are limpid ielies in every lake.
And hills and mountains of frosted cake;
There are children here who roam mt will,
Free to forage and eat their fill,
But they lack one thing of bliss complete
For they can not endure the taste OF sweet,
So they sigh in vain for a sylvan shade
With brooks and rivers of lemonade,
And lakes Of vinegar clear and strong,
Where they'd fish for pickles the whole day
long.
And ships come sailing from happier chimes
With crab-npples, cranberrtes, lemons and

For these, I've heard, and its doubtless true,
Are all they can eat in kandikew.

A CARPET merchant of Vienna has IA

A CARPET merchant of Vienna has II
curious collection of ancient WOODEN
and linen cloths, including more than
800 specimens. Many of them have
been taken from tombs, and are stretch
ed on folios of cardboard to preserve
them. Some of the fragments are only
a foot square, but the larger ones make
up an entire Roman toga, which is said
to be the only one in the world. There
are a great many embroidered dresses,
and deal of knitting and crewel work.
Double chain stitch seems to have been
as familiar to the Egyptian seamstress-
es, sewing with bone needles, as it is
to modern women. There are some
very quaint and unusual designs in the
old collection of cloths, but there are
also some very common things. 1t is
curious to find that the common blue
check pattern of our busters and work
house aprons was in general use among
the Egyptians more than 1000 years
ago.
